Mrs. Bridgers was born to Agnes Whittington and William McCann on January 27, 1933 in McComb, MS. She moved to Terry after marrying the love of her life, Monk Bridgers, in 1951.

She was employed in out-patient administration at UMC for thirty years. Mrs. Bridgers also worked with Blue Cross Blue Shield and served as a part-time helper at the Baby Barn in Terry. She enjoyed shopping in her free time, but most of all, she enjoyed spending time with her grandchildren, who she loved dearly.
